Let’s have a moment for ramps, shall we? These little forageables that pop up in spring are also called wild leeks and they possess a pronounced garlicky-onion flavor.

Decide for yourself at Lucia’s Wine Bar where you can order a great glass of wine and dig into a petite tenderloin with roasted ramps or nosh on oven-roasted frites with ramp-ranch sauce while you debate the debatable.
